Solana's on-chain metrics are deteriorating despite impressive technology, suggesting the network is losing real usage momentum
Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (1 article). Watching for it to gain traction.
Monthly active users have dropped to a two-year low of 34.1 million, fees have fallen 50% since January, and total value locked has collapsed 56% to $5.5 billion.

When on-chain fundamentals diverge from a network's technological reputation, it tends to expose a gap between speculative valuation and actual demand, which can accelerate capital rotation away from the asset as investors reprice growth expectations downward.
